Wedding budget
Estimate wedding budget and guest-list savings before deposits.
Inputs
The guest list changes more than food and drinks.
Separate fixed and variable costs
Venue and core vendors may stay fixed, while food, drink, rentals, favors, and stationery move with the list.
Add a buffer
Taxes, service charges, overtime, tips, and forgotten rentals often show up after the first quote.
Cut before deposits
Guest-list decisions are easiest before venue minimums, catering counts, and invitation deadlines become firm.
Guest checks
Use it before the guest count becomes the budget.
- 01What does ten guests change?
Use the ten-guest savings to judge whether a smaller list meaningfully changes the budget.
- 02Are fixed vendors dominating?
If fixed costs are high, trimming guests may help less than changing venue or format.
- 03Is the buffer realistic?
Increase contingency before assuming the first quote is the final spend.
